G160: Red Sox 5, Twins 2

Dice was superb (8-6-2-2-8, 119). The Twins' two runs came in the seventh inning. Bot needed only six pitches to slam the door.

Tizzle remained white hot, with a double (#53), single and home run (#35). Lowell singled, doubled and drove in three. Drew (double) and Yook (single) drove in one run apiece.

In Baltimore, the Orioles got three runs off Mariano Rivera in the bottom of the ninth (Jay Payton's three-run triple tying the game) and one in the bottom of the tenth off Edwar Ramirez (Melvin Mora's bases-loaded squeeze bunt) and win 10-9.

L-girl said...Nick, something tells me you didn't post that comment 3 times. Blogger is playing tricks on me. I'll reject it the next 3 times it comes up. No offense. :)

C'mon, that's the cleverest comment ever posted on this site! From now on I'm just going to post it over and over again. You all will learn to infer my meaning from the exact timing of each repetition.

The Worst Cable sent a tech out this morning (after I pitched an absolute FIT about when EI was over and when they were sending a tech) I was out at work, but Dave said the guy was here for over an hour and changed out everything at least twice, but it works now, and if it will just stay that way through the weekend I'll be happy!

One more reason I really want them to clinch tonight: I just remembered that I could have had tickets for tomorrow's game. My friends and colleagues will be there---it would have been an amazing party.

Laura, I think you're totally right about the Cubbies fans. They're pretty ok with their lot in life. One of my best friends is a Cubs fan, and she's generally pretty laid back about it normally, but she's beside herself right now. Different coping mechanism maybe?

More than annoying. It's one of those stories I will have to tell for years..."I could have seen the Sox clinch the Division in 2007, but I had to go to Ben's Bar Mitzvah." I will save it for the toast at his wedding some day.
